Not sure how you can rank Bennett lower after his effort tonight, or this season for that matter... I would love to see Neal with Chucky and Bennett tbh (yes I know this combo doesn't work for lines), smash people and score goals, my kind of hockey.

I also like how McDavid tried to be tough against Backlund... some generational grit right there. So cute.

Especially the fact that a time out was called. GG does not know what they are or what to do with them.

Atl! Atl! Atl!

Ever. I can't remember one like that. He picked it up at about the halfway mark, but he was not himself at all.

That felt good

Bennett is awesome. Do not care about points - he leaves it all on the ice every game. Loving it

After hours with Rittich. Night just gets better and better

I think with Rittich playing like this, the Flames have all the pieces - they just need to put them together so everyone plays to their strengths.



Only trade I'd love to go back in time to make is Neal for Ferland (not that it would be a trade, per se, just different choices). But hopefully Neal will find his place by the halfway mark.

Does cbc post a live stream anywhere for after hours?

And I wasn't sure if I'd get through this bottle of scotch... Lol.

Man, Hanifin's shoulders are smaller than Ryan Leslie's. Would not have guessed that. Leslie is a beast!

Definitely agree.

The decision point is likely to be who is a better RW in the Dzone. Based on what we've seen, it's definitely Neal.

Wonder what's going through Smiths head right now

Like everyone else, I loved Bennett's game tonight. It was awesome. He had a huge assist on Ryan's goal.

I said it in the GT, but those three breakaway saves were so big from Rittich. They do not come back if he doesn't make those saves.

[LockedOut]

Who would've figured at this point of the season Johnny would be 4th in team scoring.

reading through the HFOil post game thread

[N-E-B]

Flames with a huge and beautiful comeback against the Nazi party of hockey and there’s posters in here ragging on us because of the GT. Buzz off and let us enjoy the win! The only embarrassing thing here tonight is that thread about how bad our fans are.

I love Tkachuk!!!!!!!! So much Oilers salt on Twitter right now!!

Suck it McDipstick!!!

And now he's buying everyone a round of hot chocolate for the effort tonight

Loved how Randorf kept mentioning how the Oilers had won 7 of the last 9 games but convienently failed to mention that the Flames had won the last two. Well that’s 3 in a row now against that clown show!!!
